We're working hard to KNICKS nuclear and biological risk.

“Countries have tried this before, and they concluded that, as nice as it would be to use that plutonium as fuel, it’s really just a liability and we need to dispose of it permanently,” said NTI's @ScottRoecker. ⤵️

[Carmen MacDougall @cmac_dc]

Giving private companies access to weapons grade plutonium is a bad idea. 👎🏼

AI and biotech competition can’t come at the cost of global safety. Christine Wormuth and Emily Leproust argue that U.S.–China cooperation on biosecurity, starting with DNA synthesis screening and AIxBio safeguards, is essential to reduce shared risks. ⤵️

Love it or hate it, the 2015 Iran nuclear deal—formally known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA)—is the benchmark against which any future deal with Iran will be measured. In a new blog post, NTI's @BrewerEricM breaks down what we should look out for.

So sad about Ted Turner, @NTI_WMD co-founder and co-chair. Over 16 years, I saw his brashness, generosity, and heart firsthand. He was one-of-a-kind. We should heed his words: "We can't live in a world where nobody trusts anybody b/c then we'll never make progress. " Amen.

[Carmen MacDougall @cmac_dc]

Is anyone thinking about the nukes?

@NTarnopolsky Stay safe, both of you.

“The inevitable chaos that would accompany any regime change could present the most serious nuclear security challenge since the fall of the Soviet Union.”

[Carmen MacDougall @cmac_dc]

So sad about Colman McCarthy. My stepkids loved his class at BCC--and also were amazed at his golf skills. One of a kind, sadly. If only we all walked our talk like he did. https://t.co/TlBKHQpJUM

Just saw the documentary Starman @AvalonTheatre in DC. Terrific! Gentry Lee has a great message of possibility, even now. Check it out! https://t.co/lWzQy6f1P2

Sally Jenkins with the best piece you’ll find on the attempted murder of The Washington Post and its singular jewel, the Sports section. https://t.co/oguI5h7XDI

[Carmen MacDougall @cmac_dc]

So what does the @washingtonpost do? Run an AP story about Sonny Jurgensen on its front page? 🏈😢

[Carmen MacDougall @cmac_dc]

Really excited about this new chapter for @NTI_WMD!

[NTI @NTI_WMD]

We are pleased to announce that Christine Wormuth, a defense and national security leader who recently served as Secretary of the Army, is joining the Nuclear Threat Initiative as our new President and CEO.

Learn more about her now. ⤵️

Love the creativity that emerges from resistance but wish it didn’t feel so true. 🥲

Here's a happy-go-lucky 🎶 parody about the way that @RobertKennedyJr is now collapsing American healthcare - based off #PaulSimon's toe-tapping "Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard".

It's called: "Measles and Polio Down in the Schoolyard."

[Ernest Moniz @ErnestMoniz]

In case you missed my conversation w/@JimCameron & @amanpour, you can watch ⤵️. We discussed the power of storytelling in reframing the debate around nuclear weapons & how to mobilize the public to demand policies that pull us back from the nuclear brink. https://t.co/o32qvsJlSx

[Carmen MacDougall @cmac_dc]

Sharing #cranesforourfuture and recommitting to reducing nuclear risks and working toward a world without nuclear weapons. For us and for future generations. @NTI_WMD

[Ernest Moniz @ErnestMoniz]

I hope that the heated nuclear rhetoric between Russia and the United States doesn’t become a case study for unintended, catastrophic consequences. Read full @NTI_WMD statement ⬇️ https://t.co/3jgj32GVhl

For the record:

A war of aggression against Iran, in violation of the UN Charter and basic tenets of international law, and in the absence of any imminent threat or concrete evidence from international inspection bodies and intelligence agencies of the existence of an Iranian military nuclear program…

A war that is being waged by two nuclear weapon states (one of which is outside the nuclear arms control regime #NPT) possessing thousands of nuclear weapons...

A war that clearly brings to mind the catastrophic war on #Iraq, a war based on deception and in violation of all international inspection reports stating the absence of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq …

A war that is taking place against the backdrop of a total paralysis of the Security Council and obscene double standards by those who trumpet a rule based system…

A war that will add a huge blow to the international order, international law and institutions including the Nuclear Nonproliferation Regime …

A war that will likely have devastating effects on the peace and stability of region and its people…

Lasting peace can only be achieved through justice, mutual security and dialogue.
